Why Georgia State can cover

The Panthers have been more efficient on offense with quarterback Zach Gibson running the show. The 6-foot-2 senior has started each of the last two games, and GSU has been more competitive in both contests. For the season, Gibson has completed 41 of 60 passes for 433 yards and four touchdowns. 

The Panthers also have a pair of explosive pass catchers that will test UConn's secondary in wide receiver Ted Hurst and tight end Dorian Fleming. Hurst enters Friday's matchup with 29 catches for 506 yards and six touchdowns. Fleming has 31 catches for 333 yards and two touchdowns. See which team to pick here

Why UConn can cover

The Huskies have a chance to lock up bowl eligibility in front of their home crowd on Friday night. The win would cap off one of the better turnarounds in college football, as the program went 3-9 in 2023. Head coach Jim Mora is in his third season on the job, and led the Huskies to a bowl game in 2022.

The Huskies have performed well on both sides of the ball this season. Offensively, UConn has one of the better rushing attacks in the country, averaging 192.9 yards per game on the ground. Defensively, the Huskies allow 325.5 total yards per game, and have been particularly strong against the pass. See which team to pick here.
